How can I tell if an audio clip is .m4a or .aiff?

I have some audio clips in a song that I dragged/dropped a few weeks ago and I cannot remember if they were rendered as m4a or aiff. I tried clicking on the clip itself but I see no option for "get info" or anything like that. I also tried using the finder which does tell you, but unfortunately I used the same title about ten other times so that won't work in this case.

Did you try my suggestion?
WH
Yes, and it presents the same dilemma as the finder option since I have multiple files with the exact same title. Example: My song has an audio clip titled "Leah" because that is the name of the girl I recorded on that track. Unfortunately I used that title six different times. So if I use Finder or your suggestion, I type in "Leah", and it gives me all 5 files, all the exact same music and duration and I have no idea which one is the one being used in my song.The only way to know for sure is to do this from within GB, and I cannot believe there isn't an option for this. Thanks for offering to help though.

  • How can I make all 40 audio clips the same volume?

    Hello, all!
    I'm finishing up a General Orientation video for new employees in Yellowstone National Park and am-this-close to being finished!
    I'm creating the video in Premier Elements 9 with some video footage and some still photos blended together.  (Yes, I tried to "Ken Burns" it...  he would laugh out loud if he saw my version!)
    I've narrated most of it in individual WAV. clips that I've inserted into the audio timeline under each video segment.
    I have about 40 audio clips, and even though I used a decent microphone, I still find that each clip has a slightly different volume that is really noticeable when the video DVD plays on TV.  I'm realizing that I should have made an effort to keep a standard distance from the mic when recording.   Hindsight is 20-20.
    I have been trying to change the volume on each clip to make them all the same volume, and it's making me a little crazy.
    Is there any way for me to capture all the audio at one time and make an adjustment that would make all of them the same volume?    I tried CTL-A and then did "normalize" on it, but it seemed to make very little/or no difference when viewing.
    Any advice would be really appreciated!

    You are most welcome, and it has been a great day. Thanks!
    Good luck, and pay close attention to the differences between Clip Keyframes and Track Keyframes. They accomplish the same result, but have differences.
    Good luck,

  • How can I trim the main audio clip for slideshow

    I have created a slideshow with photos and video.  I want to add music, but would like to trim the main audio.   If aperture doesn't have this feature, can I export my slide show to iMovie.  What can I do?

    Aperture allows for trimming the audio of any clip that you drop as background music onto the film strip. The clip appears as a green bar, and  you can drag it to the place where you want the music to begin, also you can shorten/trim it by dragging the handles at the ends of the  audio region.
    For example:
    If that does not suffice, you can use iTunes to trim the music. For any song in iTunes you can set the start and end time in the "options" pane of the Information panel. Then create a new, shorter version of the song, using  the menu
    Advanced -> create ... version.

  • How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    How can I reinsert the deleted audio from clips in my sequence?

    I can tell you a work around to get you going in the meantime, just may be time consuming if you have a lot of clips in the timeline.
    double click a clip missing audio
    press the go to in point and copy the timecode to notepad
    press the go to end point and copy timecode
    right click clip, and reveal in project
    double click the original in project
    paste in timecode and set in & out points again
    drag audio
    As I said not the quickest way, but it works, and won't actually take as long as you'd think, 30 secs or so per clip, i just hope you don't have over 100 clips without audio

  • When i try to upload a .mts file from my Sony camera to Premiere Pro CC it refuses to play the audio! Ofcourse i could convert every single clip but it takes tons of time. How can i make Pr play audio track properly?

    When i try to upload a .mts file from my Sony camera to Premiere Pro CC it refuses to play the audio! Ofcourse i could convert every single clip but it takes tons of time. How can i make Pr play audio track properly?

    Does it not play at all or cannot you get the audio in the timeline?
    Did you copy the entire card to the hdd and then imported the file via the Media Browser?
    Did you source patch the audio tracks?

  • PAL or NSTC, how can i tell what format the vid clip is?

    The 2nd abbreviation might be wrong...
    concerning vid clips
    How can you tell what format clips are in before iMovie tells you?
    I don't want to combine the formats and cannot figure a way to tell the difference before trying to burn the dvd

    At the top of the iMovie project window it will tell you by giving the name you gave to the project as well as 'DV NTSC, or DV NTSC Widescreen.
    Somewhat confusingly, when you set your choice of NTSC or PAL in iMovie's preferences when starting a new project (you can't switch later), these are only identified as 29.95 fps (which is NTSC) and 25 fps (which is PAL). Once you have set that, all iMovie projects you start will default to the same until you change it. You cannot combine the formats in the same project.
    As you are in the USA yours will probably default to NTSC which is the TV system you use there. In Europe we set it to PAL which is what we use here.
    A bit rudely, we also say that NTSC stands for 'Never The Same Colour Twice'!
    PAL used to stand for 'Prolongs Active Life', but that was actually the tag-line in a dog food commercial! But they are useful mnemonics to remember them by!

  • How can i tell a clip has been used?

    In iMovie I can see a clip was used in a project with an orange line through the used section. How can I tell in FCPX?

    I agree ... this should be a feature that Apple includes.  In the meantime, a work-around is to click on the clip, go to the info tab of the inspector window and choose the General view.  The name of the clip will be in the Name field at the top of the inspector window.  It will also appear at the top bar of all three tabs in the inspector window.  You can then match that name to the same name in your browser.

  • How can you tell if a file is being used in your project or not?

    How can you tell if a file in your bin is being used in your project or not? My director dragged hundreds of reference files into my project and only used a few of them. I'd like to do some house cleaning and delete the ones that are not in use. This project file has 100 sequences in it, so it would be a tough manual hunt to figure this out.
    In Premiere Pro (or Flash for example), where all the information is in the Project Bin such as in/out times and duration, there is where it tells you how many times that piece of media has been used or if it hasn't been used yet.
    Can FCP tell me this info?
    Thanks for yout time!
    -Monty

    Monty,
    Within FCP, there is a menu item called "Media Manager" (depending on what version you are in). This would be worth your while to look into. It basically organizes your project by moving/archiving any used assets of a project and leaving out un-used assets. It saves a ton of disk space.
    For example, say you have a 5 minute clip with an in/out point that is just 30 seconds. Media Manager will "archive" just that 30 seconds, not the entire clip. There is even a setting that you can add additional "handles" time to the front andd back of the clip if you think you may need to add or change transition.
    Do a google search. I was just watching a few Youtube videos on this myself.

  • How can you tell what resolution a movie is?

    How can you tell in iMovie 09 what resolution a movie is?
    The only two have used were HD and standard, but we are not sure which in our collection are which.
    Is there an easy way to tell?
    Thanks.

    Easiest way is to open the clip using QuickTime Player. Then click Command-I to open the inspector.
    (Or click WINDOW/INSPECTOR)

  • How can i tell what generation of ipod shuffle I have?

    We have various ipods and I need to know what generation of ipod shuffle we have.  How can if tell?

    This document about resetting the iPod shuffle shows a picture of the four types.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1655
    1st gen - It is white plastic and looks like a USB "thumb drive."  It as a full USB connector on it, so you don't need a cable to connect it to the computer.
    2nd gen - It is a clip-on design.  It has separate switches for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and for turning ON/OFF.
    3rd gen - It is a narrow clip-on design, with no playback control buttons on the shuffle itself.  You use the "remote control" buttons on the ear buds cord.  It has the new VoiceOver feature.
    4th gen - Apple went back to the 2nd gen style, except smaller.  It has only one switch that is both for setting playback order (shuffle or in order) and turning ON/OFF, plus a small VoiceOver button (for using the VoiceOver feature introduced in 3rd gen)

  • Movie length - How can you tell???

    Hi All,
    This is a really dumb question but how can you tell how long your movie is. I've dragged some clips down to the project library window but can't for the life of me work out how to tell how many hours/minutes it is. i can tell how long each clip is but figured getting a calculator out and adding them all up didn't seem the Apple way of doing things. iMovie HD 6 was way easier to use (at least it had a simple timeline you could scroll across and see where you were and at what time. I don't need scrubbing that badly).

    problem solved, it didn't exactly jump out at me at first but I found the spot. Sheesh this new imovie is totally different from the previous versions.

    I am not a computer savy person.  I just need to plug in and have the machine do what it should do.
    Not a problem, but that indicates you have a lot to learn.
    File extensions like mpeg, mp4., avi, wmv, etc. are just wrappers. It is like a box the audio or video content is placed inside. The audio and video content must be encoded with a codec before it is placed in the box. There are thousands of codecs. Not all are installed on your Mac. You must have the same codec installed that encoded the video in order to play it. So, while Quicktime does support mpeg wrapper, it may not have the codecs to decode the internal video.
    Some programs have lots of the codecs available to them, like VLC, Niceplayer, MPlayerX, etc.
    You can also get "plug-ins" for Quicktime that add codecs to Quicktime, like Perian. Although it is no longer being developed, Perian still works well.
    Why is it so difficult? Probably because they are always working on ways to compress the video to get better playback.

  • I have lots of duplicate songs in ITunes. How can I tell which ones were purchased vs ripped?

    I am trying to delete duplicate songs in iTunes library. How can I tell which ones were iTunes purchases and which ones I ripped from CD's.

    If you turn on the Kind column your purchases will read Purchased AAC audio file or Protected AAC audio file.
    BTW I've written a script called DeDuper which can help remove unwanted duplicates. See this  thread for background.
